EDWARD SCISSORHANDS - or when everybody can make an Android App

While the race of app markets is going fast and furious it seems that Android Market and its selection of apps has grown very fast and far outpaced the rest of the challenger’s

 

 

Sure the leader is still the iPhone’s App store with more than 218,000 iOS applications but Android already count more 92600 app and growing faster than its competitor.

Starting this week, Google is taking steps to correct that mismatch in available apps with the launch of ‘App Inventor for Android’.

To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer

App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design (based on Drag&Drop interface) the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app's behavior, you have access to all core phone services such as SMS, GPS, motion sensor to design your application moreover (even if it's an easy-to-use interface) the Website provides tutorials. 

It's easy and simple as shown in above video

All you need is an app idea :) 

After all who knows better than end-user what end-user want?

unfortunately it is not available for everyone. you have to go to the website and get on a waiting list. then, if you are lucky, you might get an invitation to use the program...i am still waiting for mine.

did anyone actually get to try the program? i would be really curious.
